BRADENTON CRIMINAL BLOG: Investigation Into You Tube Beating At Lakewood Ranch YMCA Underway
A 13-year-old boy who was attacked by two teenagers in a video posted on You Tube. The 54-second clip has set off multiple investigations according to the Bradenton Herald. Police first want to know if the attack was staged for cameras but right now they are asking that battery charges be filed against the two teens responsible for beating the 13-year-old outside the Lakewood Ranch YMCA.
The victim of the attack did not report the incident until he found out the video of the beating had been placed on You Tube. The victim is seen on video being surrounded by a large group of teens. Two teens then attack the younger boy while the whole scene is set to music. The incident sparked another arrest when the father of one of the suspects saw the video and began to punch his son.
